"What kind of tiredness is this?" Tao Zhu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth: "I just run between the Shantang and the three schools, and then take care of the family's accounts, which is time-consuming, and I am not tired at all." ”

"Besides, now I have Yuanyuan to help me share the burden."

"Isn't that tiring? There are three schools in one good hall, and there are so many shops at home, which must take a lot of energy. ”

Li Qiao was about to stand up as she spoke: "I'll pinch your shoulders and beat your legs." ”

He spread the stall so big, and as a result, he became the shopkeeper, and his bamboo brother suffered for him.

"Hey, no!" Tao Zhu immediately grabbed his hand: "Sit down, sit down, I still have something to say." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Li Qian sat back down.

"I know about the family affair with Yu Ning. Knowing that I came over today, I asked him and Yu Ning to talk for a while in the leisure room in the front yard, Yu Ning took the freshly made meat floss scallop over, and after he tasted it, he praised Yu Ning and you, and made Yu Ning laugh for a while. ”

"When he left, I asked Yu Ning how he felt about him, and Yu Ning said that he had a good impression of him, and these two people would definitely be able to do it."

"The question is, if Yu Ning really became close to Ming Xi, then Yu Ning would follow Ming Xi to Dongshan Province to find Governor Ming?"

Tao Zhu frowned slightly as he spoke, he was a little reluctant.

"Yes. If the two really become married, Yu Ning will follow Ming Xi to Dongshan Province, which was agreed with Governor Ming from the beginning. ”

Li Qiao said and stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms: "If the Grand Canal is navigable and Dongshan Province has also built a stucco road, then this is not far away." ”

Tao Zhu was familiar with the map of Dasheng, and naturally knew how far the capital of Dongshan Province was from Shengjing, so he couldn't help but hug Li Qiao tightly.

"I still remember the day when Yuning Yu'an and the third sister first came to our house, and the three of them were timid and uneasy. In a blink of an eye, Yu An is about to get married, and Yun Ning is about to get married. ”

"Yu Ning has listened to you since she was a child, whatever you say is what you say, you let her go to Dongshan Province, and she will go to Dongshan Province. It's just that the silver in Dongshan Province doesn't necessarily have to be earned by Yu Ning in the past. ”

Li Yuning won't show anything in front of him and Li Qiao, but he is an uncle, so he has to stand on Li Yuning's side and think about her.

Away from relatives and going to a strange place, for a girl, her heart must be apprehensive and uneasy.

I know that it's good to stay in Beijing, just like Jiang Mao. Knowing that he will definitely be able to pass the exam of Guozijian, as long as Li Qiao arranges it, he can also enter Guozijian to study.

“…… That's right. ”

Li Qiao was silent for a moment, and could only speak like this.

At that time, he thought that the Yellow River in Dongshan Province was about to burst its banks, and he had to go and see it, so he wanted to put some manpower and grain there in advance.

Even if the Yellow River really bursts, then Li Yuning can also assist the Ming Governor in disaster relief.

Moreover, the governor of Ming also hoped that he would open the shop so that the local people could increase their income.

Think about it at this time, the Governor of Youming is here, and if he wants to open a shop there, he doesn't have to let Li Yuning go over.

"We promised Governor Ming to increase the income of the local people, so let's follow the example of Peng County and see who of our guys is willing to go there to open a shop."

"As for Yuning, she stayed in Beijing."

When Tao Zhu heard what he wanted to hear, the reluctance in his heart immediately dissipated, he hugged Li Qiao hard, and smiled on his face: "I'll talk to Yu Ning about this tomorrow." ”

"Good bamboo brother." Li Qiao also hugged Tao Zhu hard: "I'm busy with the affairs of the court all day long, and I have a lot of negligence for our own children, I have to worry about you, this family is supported by you, it's really hard for you." ”

"Where is what I can support, you have contributed the most, this family is supported by all of us."

"And, it's you who have the hardest time."

He seems to be busy every day, but he is not tired at all.

It's Li Qiao who is really tired.

In the past year, Li Qiao has gone to the study after dinner almost every day to deal with official business.

Moreover, Li Qiao has always wanted to open more shops.

Alas.

Originally, he thought that his family had a lot of silver, but after donating more than 200,000 taels of money during the flood in the south, he realized that in fact, his family's silver was not enough to spend.

Especially in the past few years, living in Shengjing, there are natural disasters every year.

The family's silver is generally spent, but it can only barely take care of the people in Shengjing.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he could only see the area of Shengjing.

But Li Qiao knew the situation in various places in Dasheng, so Li Qiao wanted to make money more urgently than him.

The more shops at home, the better.

The next day, Tao Zhu told Li Yuning about his and Li Qiao's decision last night, and Li Yuning was happy and moved when she heard it.

Indeed, she is very reluctant to stay away from her relatives.

But she really wanted to go to Dongshan Province, where there was a blank market.

However, the words of the two uncles also make sense, there is a Ming Governor in Dongshan Province, and there is no need for her to go over, and the Li family's shop can open smoothly.

Well...... If she really married Mingxi, then she would definitely go to Beihu Province.

North Lakes province is also a blank market.

Tao Zhu didn't know that Li Yuning was thinking about Beihu Province, Li Yu'an and Xin Zhi's wedding date was coming, and he had to be busy with this matter.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the day before Li Yu'an Xin got married, there was a lot of snow, and this snow fell, so as not to cause a snow disaster, but the temperature dropped sharply to more than ten degrees below zero.

On the second day of Li Yu'an and Xin Zhi's marriage, Tao Zhu opened a cotton warehouse located on the side of the branch library and asked the poor people outside Shengjing City to receive cotton.

In order to prevent people from taking it out of the way, the village was taken as a unit, led by the village head, and the villagers went to the branch library together.

Moreover, even if the village chief testifies, Tao Zhu has to take the household registration book and check it carefully.

The cotton he buys is limited, and he has to be careful in order to use it for the real poor.

After the cotton was distributed for free, some people in Shengjing City donated warm clothes and bedding to Shantang one after another.

Li Qiao fulfilled his promise and really distributed the purchased cotton to the poor people for free, which made some people who were originally skeptical of Li Qiao let go of their prejudices.

Li Qiao's behavior of buying cotton at a high price and distributing it for free is untrue to the Holy Father, and some people who have a lot of ideas can't help but suspect that Li Qiao has other purposes.

I have seen people who do good, but like Li Qiao, who scatters tens of thousands of taels of silver without asking for anything in return, there is no such great good person in the book.

But now, Li Qiao really gave the cotton purchased for tens of thousands of taels of silver to the poor people for free.

The so-called deeds don't care about the heart, no matter what Li Qiao thinks in his heart, but in action, Li Qiao is really impossible to find fault.

In that case, why not donate something to the Church of Kindness?

It's all for the people anyway.

As a result, Shantang received a lot of items to keep out the cold.

But it's not enough.

Because there are too many poor people outside Shengjing City who need these cotton and clothing.

As the news spread, some people from far away couldn't help but come, anyway, they were all flat stucco roads, and they were led by the village chief.

Even people from Jibei Province went to collect cotton, clothes and bedding.

These people, all who walked up to Tao Zhu and confirmed that the information was correct after Tao Zhu checked the information, he gave out cotton or clothes and bedding.

Anyway, they are all the people of Dasheng, regardless of whether they are from Shengjing or Jibei Province, in his opinion, there is no difference.

Moreover, this winter is indeed colder than the previous two years.

The temperature has been maintained at minus 10 degrees, and the daily dry firewood required for his family's greenhouse has increased by 30% compared with last year.

Chapter 216 Shen Hua went to Shantang, and the weather was suddenly cold Tao Zhu Li Qiao's foolish behavior

The weather is cold, and the corresponding prices of dry firewood, coal and other cold-proof materials have also risen a little.

The price has risen, and the amount has to go up, like the conservatory of Li Qiao's house, the fire in the stove has to burn more vigorously than in previous years, otherwise the indoor temperature will not go up.

As a result, more firewood is consumed.

Moreover, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu sympathized with the subordinates, worried that the subordinates would freeze their hands, and let them use warm water for laundry and cooking.

Li Liang and Wang Guihua were a little distressed, they had to use up more than ten taels of silver just to burn the fire every day, it was too luxurious, and the couple let a large family try to stay in the multi-functional leisure room in the front yard during the day, anyway, there are three major rooms, which is enough for everyone.

Of course, like Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, and Li Yunfan, the three little guys who are reading, they have to stay in their study when they are studying.

For this reason, Li Liang also praised Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, thinking that the two of them had smart brains, although they were young, they made progress with Li Xiaorui in reading, and the two of them shared a master and a study room with Li Xiaorui, which could save a lot of firewood.

Smart people are good, and they can save dry firewood for their families at a young age.

Tao Zhu and Li Qiao who heard these words were a little crying and laughing.

But others agreed.

Li Erbao is almost three years old now, but the name has not yet been decided, Originally, everyone thought that Erbao's nickname was good, with Li Erbao's fleshy face, the more you look at it, the more cute it becomes.

But when the child is older, he must have a big name, Zheng Qianqian has been talking about this matter recently, smart people are so wow, like his uncle, after working hard, he has earned today's family business in just ten years.

Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan's twins are also very powerful, in his opinion, these two children will definitely be able to get rid of Li Xiaorui in their studies next year.

The brain melon is so smart, how much paper, how much ink, how many candles can be saved!

Therefore, he wanted to name Erbao Li Zhi.

His eldest son's name is Li Rui, and his second son's name is Li Zhi.

Sagacious.

Perfect.

Zheng Qianqian wants to give Erbao this name, and everyone will naturally not object, this kind of thing is of course what he says as a father.

However, as a grandfather, Li Liang is also very satisfied with this name, which is simple, easy to remember, and has a good meaning.

That's it!

Li Erbao just had a big name, and Zheng Qianqian was pregnant again.

This time he was pregnant behind Li Xia, who was pregnant before Li Ershan Fan Yuanyuan got married, three months earlier than him.

There are two pregnant husbands in the family, as well as two two-year-old Li Erbao and Brother Tangerine, so Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia usually stay in the leisure room in the front yard during the day.

Li Yu'an married the Xin family, Fan Yuanyuan has been busy with Tao Zhu recently, and Li Liang and Wang Guihua's vermicelli workshops have started to operate again, so only Li Yuning and Li Xiaolan accompany them during the day.
